SMS Multi-Factor Authentication Now Available for ACE Portal Login
CBP has enabled an SMS text-message option as an additional authentication method for ACE Portal login, expanding on existing MFA choices. This expands secure access options for trade users managing ACE accounts.
We read this as a straightforward access-security improvement; our position is that SMS MFA is a convenient fallback for staff who may not have authenticator-app access, though we continue to regard app-based MFA as the more secure default.
